I like the trail meals!

[@jsweevil]

Im enjoying all of them. I live in my van, and im planning on thru hiking the AT this year. It would be lovely if you could continue doing recipes for any and all outdoor or vanlife. Maybe do things like lightweight meals that you can do solely from resupplying at a dollar general, ideas from gas stations, how would you pack food for a four or five day hike between resupplies? How would you cook for a bike tour? Canoeing trip?

[@scott_raven]

I ordered all your cookbooks. I love longform hiking vlogging with periodic stops for cooking. No new recipes needed!

[@chriser9737]

I really enjoy the trial food recipes, perhaps some food hacks for when camping.... could you ask subscribers for a recipe and you test it?

[@fiskz]

I enjoy your trail reports with meal prep. Seeing new places, and pairing with food.

[@ChefCorso]

roger, thanks!

[@elliemay3147]

Thru hiking/backpacking recipe challenge. Top ones come on your video and cook them. I’m always looking for new creative backpacking recipes that are inexpensive, on the healthier side and light weight. Thanks!

[@michellesharpe6159]

I'd love to see an interative recipe challenge by your fans. I have most of your cookbooks, and what they've given me is the confidence to be creative with my on-trail meals.

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers Michelle! Great idea and glad our recipes are giving you confidence to eat well outdoors!

[@phillipbuchan9180]

Maybe you could try doing a budget/cheap backpacking food challenge? That might help with the algorithm, and it might be something that we would enjoy watching.

[@BillandJulieKelty]

Meal prep ideas are cool. You have inspired us to think out the boil in bag meals. As a video suggestion, maybe a video of what happens to different stable foods as the run past the expire date. We did the pantry challenge and shared the idea with the MIL. She was not thrilled about tossing stable food just because it is expired. She still has spices from her house in Omaha. She moved to AZ over 20 years ago.

[@user-ph3rb4tz5d]

How about different food origins? A peanut mafe sauce with peanut powder. To fancy up packet chicken and veg over rice? Trail koshary (Egyptian)? Muhummara? More mezze or tapas or cicchetti kind of meals? .

[@renob98362]

Aside from a zigazig-ah, I'd love to see more of your hidden gems you find in a normal grocery store. Those weird bananas, the crispy jalapeños, etc. Something I might be able to find at the last grocery store before going off-grid. Also, every time I clean my kitchen, I think "Chef Corso would do this 10x faster".

[@PrincesSoulmate]

I am a type 1 diabetic so I have a very weird love/hate relationship with carbs. Before and during a hike, I do have to carb up (depending on how much elevation gain I expect). But in the evening when I am starving, I need to avoid or limit the carbs before bed. Sooooo, I would really appreciate your innovative ideas and your instructions /demonstrations on how to cook the schizophrenic diabetic food I need. I also love to see you show us the beautiful places you visit.

[@ChefCorso]

good thought and definitely can be a challenge

[@billcahill8825]

Love trail meals….I have 3 of your cookbooks I got from Christmas and would like to see new recipes

[@KarlaStorm]

I like to cold soak my lunches and sometimes breakfast. How about some creative ideas for cold soaking? Love your ideas!!

[@ChefCorso]

roger

[@31446963048]

I enjoy your meal preps, equiment reviews, etc. And if I missed them, basic setup information. I first came across you on a trout fishing discord where the discussion was on hiking into streams out west and it was going to be a couple of days. The Tampa video played to me but that's because my son goes to school there and we've had condos going back to my youth just south of there. Appreciate your channel.

[@thehoffmanway3060]

I dehydrate vegetables, cooked lentils and then try to mix and match with store bought dried potatoes, sweet potatoes, and/or pasta but end up with something way too salty or way to bland. A basic recipe with various seasonings and store bought items would be so helpful!

[@ChefCorso]

that's what OE recipes are all about! easy, flavorful recipes that use ingredients you can find at most stores. we have over 300 ready for you in the recipe bank

[@Olyphoto7]

I like a variety of trail meals/snacks and car camping goodies. Bike packing is also great it blurs the lines between backpacking and car camping.

[@alexygoat8440]

Share cool ingredients you might it think can be backpacking food . I loved your thoughts I n this in the past

[@ChefCorso]

you got it

[@keyscardio7558]

Love your videos thank you! I have scottle I would love to get other recipes.

[@keeperofthegood]

"Middle of Nowhere" may be an idea. I've been on foot in small Hamlets and in big Metropolis and in these situations been no where near more than a variety shop or gas station. Without the convenience of a home and kitchen, standing on a street with the "now what" expression is a tough spot to be in :)

[@garyantley]

What i want is a recipe book subscription service that allows me to check off tbe books i already have. Press go and every month a book is randomly selected to be sent to me.... As for the channel, day hikes with a good lunch on the trail and a tarail-gate snack....

[@freemandrew]

More lightweight backpacking meal ideas please! I've been cold weather camping recently with a group of mostly vegetarians and I don't seem to have the skill to figure out what works well given a random pantry of ingredients.

[@francescachiappa]

Trail meals for kids, please

[@ChuckHarris-go5nz]

Bike packing/ Hiking/ Camping on a heart healthy low sodium diet please

[@BiggCliph]

I’m new to the channel and I love trail meals! I’m no KZbinr but maybe some good ideas would be walking into a store with a limited amount of money and trying to make good trail meals (like your jiffy pbj grits)! Or maybe making trail meals where a main ingredient has to be subbed for an allergy-friendly option. I pretty much just watch for your food and your personality so whatever you do I’ll enjoy

[@BiggCliph]

Or another idea would be making the same meal but at different weight/price points. Like first you make the meal with a full blown camping stove, skillet, fresh ingredients. And then you make it with a pocket rocket stove and dehydrated ingredients, etc

[@ChefCorso]

@ cheers BC. Good ideas and thanks for following along!

[@alexygoat8440]

Maybe some DIy dehydrating ??

[@ChefCorso]

Sorry Alex, dehydrating won't be on the list for 2025. I'm more focused on real, fresh ingredients that can translate to tasty, lightweight meals.

[@zdzislawaprzyborska5653]

lightweight keto options ❤ I'm from Europe so I might have different iridescent options. Tak how you want and do want you want. I want you happy!

[@loganencarnacion5487]

Hey Chef, big fan, following you for a couple years, ordered a couple of your recipes and tried a few on the trail. What I would like to see if how you would make fresh bread on the trail, backpacking I’ve seen a few KZbinrs make it while camping on a fire but not so much backing packing. I’m sure you can figure a way to make it simple for everybody !

[@ChefCorso]

Hey Logan. thanks for following along and the idea. Bread with a portable camp stove is a pretty tough one. The heat is so hot and you don't have the opportunity for slow, medium heat to develop and cook bread and form it's structure. But I'll see if I can do some testing away from a campfire to make something happen

[@chincar316]

We want to see you make more of your recipes

[@MyADV360]

Easy cooking recipes, limited ingredients, maybe stuff you can pickup at a convenient store, or dollar store, or trader joes

[@annielambert1575]

Dollar General challenge!

[@ChefCorso]

stay tuned! i've got this coming your way later in the year

[@waknitz]

More hikes. Cooking for other hiking youtubers. More guests.

[@LordTemujin]

More meals that scale well for larger groups (4-8 people)

[@ChefCorso]

hey LT! I have covered group cooking in the past and happy to do more. In the short term, just about all of our recipes are easy to scale up for a larger crew. Just 2x, 3x or 4x. Look to recipes that have rice, pasta or noodles for easy scaling.

[@richardmorua1075]

Wildland firefighter meals

[@ChefCorso]

sounds like an invite, ha! I'd love to come cook for your crew

[@richardmorua1075]

Gym

[@ChefCorso]

cooking at the gym...ok...

[@EricAlainDufresne]

i just want a balanced set of meal ideas

[@broland_]

I love the boiling water channel. So much safer than your no-bake chia bomb. 😅💣💥
